Bring a Loupe: Two Oversized Vacherons, One Very Slim Piaget, And One Promising Chronograph From Longines
This week's Bring A Loupe will feature an early Autavia chronograph from Heuer, and reveal another from Longines – a true eBay find in all its glory, horrendous pictures included. We will also look into watches with some very special dimensions, starting with the first ultra-thin Piaget with automatic movement, and then examining two incredible Vacheron Constantins, both with oversized cases in pink gold. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 6, 2015. An Early Heuer Autavia Reference 2446 Second Generation 1 OF 11 Two weeks ago we covered in depth an early Autavia that ultimately fetched $45,000 on eBay and today it kind of starts over. Well, this Autavia is not as rare, as it is the second execution of the reference 2446 with screw-back case. In comparison to the first execution that we had spotted earlier, the difference is minute, but for a Heuer aficionado it means a lot: the hands are not full lume anymore, you can see their frame here. Unfortunate

In-Depth: A Critical Look At The A. Lange & S?hne Grand Complication
When the A. Lange & Söhne Grand Complication was first announced at SIHH 2013 it got the entire watch industry's attention – as you would expect an extremely complex, 50mm diameter, $2.6 million watch to do – though only a handful of people were able to actually see the watch in person. Large scale models and official press photos had to suffice for most. But a few weeks ago a prototype Grand Complication made its way to New York City and we sat down with CEO Wilhelm Schmid and Director of Product Development Anthony de Haas to get a closer look at exactly what this astounding watch means for the future of A. Lange & Söhne. Introduction 1 OF 28 A. Lange & S?hne Grand Complication While most "concept watches" are made in one or two examples and never available commercially, Lange decided to do something different here. There will be two prototypes held onto by the manufacture and six numbered pieces available for

Found: A Completely Fake Black Dial, Screw-Down Paul Newman Daytona On Ebay, For Over $24,000
We see a lot of comically bad watches for sale on the interwebs (here's a fun one, just for kicks), but watches like this are so incredibly terrible that anyone with an iPhone and any sense of reality can figure out not to bid on them. And then there are the good fakes – those that may use some real parts, or tell a great story about how the watch may have sat in a drawer for 25 years. You know, like this steel Patek 1463 that we spotted on eBay back in September. Well, right now, there is another would-be dream watch online – this time with 127 bids and a price of over $24,000 with just about three days remaining. We'll break this fake down for you. 1 OF 3 That's that watch, up there. It's a Rolex Daytona Reference 6263 with black Paul Newman dial. Now if you know anything about Daytonas, you'll know a Paul Newman is worth over $100,000. With a black bezel, it's worth over $150,000. With screw down pushers and a white dial it is worth
